So I finally figured out where Seaport Yarns is down in the Old Port, and decided to go check them out today. I came out with two skeins of sock yarn, one of Jitterbug, and one from a local hand dyer: I’m actually really excited about the local yarn. I’ll freely admit to loving my […]

Still working on the Embossed Leaves Socks from Interweave’s Favorite Socks. Finally got out of the twisted rib section (I hate knitting into the back of the loop!) and into the actual pattern. It’s a pretty simple pattern, and I’m still absolutely loving the colors of this yarn. I’m also enjoying working from my first
So, despite the fact that I promised myself I wouldn’t work on them again until I had more of my Sitcom Chic sweater, or more Project Spectrum stuff done, I recast on my Jaywalkers again. This time, I obeyed the pattern, and used size 1 needles, and they seem much more to gauge this time
The Baby Yoda sweater is done. I hadn’t planned on finishing it this weekend, but I have good reason to believe that the recipient will be/has already arrived early, so I figured a push to finish it up this weekend was in order. I’m happy with the yarn (Knit Pick’s Shine Worsted, in Reef) I
The baby Yoda sweater is coming along. I’ve got the back and sides done, and sleeve #1 is cast on. It’s been an interesting experience. This is definitely the barest bones pattern I’ve worked with so far, so it’s been nice to have to figure out what decrease I need to do to achieve the
I cast on the Baby Yoda Sweater earlier this week, to give me something smaller to work on, since my Jaywalkers are temporarily hibernating. The back of that is coming along pretty well, though I haven’t gotten quite as much done as I might have otherwise, due to some crack-tastic David Eddings marathon reading (review
Since it was snowing yesterday, and there wasn’t really much point in planning to do anything out of the house, I figured the least I could do was finish off the Lil Devil Baby Hat I’ve been making for a coworker’s forthcoming baby girl. It’s done in Firecracker Heather Wool of the Andes from Knitpicks.
So the rest of my tax refund treat came today (part one was the Interweave Sock book). Two skeins of Socks that Rock Raven Clan medium weight. I got Thraven and Valkerie. Valkerie because I think it would make good socks for my best friend – the perky goth with red streaked hair. I got

My first Jaywalker sock is coming along nicely. I really like this pattern. It’s incredibly easy, though I admit that the short pattern repeat is actually making these a little slow going. I found that with the Monkey socks, I preferred to get a full pattern repeat finished at one time, if that was possible,
I don’t know what it is, but I’m in a massive nesting mood today, which is being mostly thwarted by the fact that the worst off sections of the house are also the unheated sections of the house. But, the various parts of my craft accumulation are in portable containers, so I was at least
